An addendum to my previous post: The Beginnings of International Isolation???

The Flight Ban - Kerry Came With A Stick

It seems I might have been a little naive.  The timing of Kerry's visit and the FAA ban does seem a little too convenient/suspicious.  Otherwise what was the entire purpose of  his little visit?  From his point of view, without a subtle/not-so-subtle threat he didn't have anything new to bring to the region to 'persuade' Israel.

It is not as if he and Obama haven't tried something like this before.

See:

Even if the FAA ban proves to be only temporary, it does appear from this to be the start of something new.
